如何从git导出所有分支更改的文件与本地主文件相比

Question

I am using the following to export all the changed files from my master branch:

git archive --output=test_v2.zip HEAD $(git diff --name-only master)

however it gives me the following error:

error: unknown option `name-only'
usage: git archive [<options>] <tree-ish> [<path>...]
   or: git archive --list
   or: git archive --remote <repo> [--exec <cmd>] [<options>] <tree-ish> [<path>...]
   or: git archive --remote <repo> [--exec <cmd>] --list

--format <fmt>        archive format
--prefix <prefix>     prepend prefix to each pathname in the archive
-o, --output <file>   write the archive to this file
--worktree-attributes
                      read .gitattributes in working directory
-v, --verbose         report archived files on stderr
-0                    store only
-1                    compress faster
-9                    compress better

-l, --list            list supported archive formats

--remote <repo>       retrieve the archive from remote repository <repo>
--exec <command>      path to the remote git-upload-archive command

what am I doing wrong?

it creates test_v2.zip but it is empty.

based on my research I think I should not use $ sign but I don't know what to use then.

Your example works fine in bash . But you try to run it in cmd.exe . The $() syntax is Bash syntax to start a subshell, execute the enclosed command and replace the construct with the output.

Either do the same in Git Bash (anyway the better choice) or use a cmd.exe specific construct instead if one exists.
